Lawyers for Azerbaijan are urging the top United Nations court to throw out a case filed by Armenia linked to the long-running dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. They argued Monday that judges do not have jurisdiction.
FILE - Preliminary hearings opened in a case in which Armenia is asking judges at the United Nations’ top court to order Azerbaijan to protect the rights of ethnic Armenia ns from the Nagorno-Karabakh region that was reclaimed last month by Azerbaijan , at the International Court of Justice, or World Court, in The Hague, Netherlands, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023.
Armenia’s case is based on an international convention on stamping out racial discrimination, which has a clause allowing disputes to be resolved by the world court if bilateral negotiations fail to broker a settlement. International law professor Stefan Talmon, representing Azerbaijan, added that Armenia “never gave negotiations a chance.”
Azerbaijan also argued that most allegations in Armenia’s case fall outside the scope of the discrimination convention, meaning the court did not have jurisdiction.Azerbaijan has also brought a case against Armenia at the world court alleging breaches of the same convention. Objections filed by Armenia to the Azerbaijani case will be heard later this month.
